Kill and Run by Lauren Carr A Thorny Rose Mystery by Lauren Carr Book Tour, Review and Giveaway

Book Description for Kill and Run:

Five women with seemingly nothing in common are found brutally murdered in a townhome outside Washington, DC. Among the many questions surrounding the massacre is what had brought these apparent strangers together only to be killed.

Taking on his first official murder case, Lieutenant Murphy Thornton, USN, believes that if he can uncover the thread connecting the victims, then he can find their murderer.

The case takes an unexpected turn when Murphy discovers that one of the victims has a connection to his stepmother, Homicide Detective Cameron Gates. One wintry night, over a dozen years before, her first husband, a Pennsylvania State trooper, had been run down while working a night shift on the turnpike.

In this first installment of the Thorny Rose Mysteries, the Lovers in Crime join newlyweds Lieutenant Murphy Thornton and Jessica Faraday to sift through a web of lies and cover-ups. Together, can the detectives of the Thorny Rose uncover the truth without falling victim to a cunning killer?

Book Description for Three Days Forever (A Mac Faraday Mystery):

In this latest Mac Faraday Mystery from best-selling mystery author Lauren Carr, readers will embark on a rollercoaster adventure with old friends (including the Lovers in Crime team of Prosecutor Joshua Thornton and Homicide Detective Cameron Gates), but also meet new ones as Mac Faraday’s daughter Jessica Faraday and Joshua Thornton’s son Murphy Thornton join the team in the race to get the love birds to the altar!

With three days left to the year, Deep Creek Lake is hopping with holiday vacationers and wedding guests pouring into the Spencer Inn for Mac Faraday and Archie Monday’s huge wedding ceremony which is being touted as the social event of the year.

But droopy flowers and guests who failed to RSVP are the least of Mac’s and Archie’s problems when a professional hit squad hits Spencer Manor to send the groom, Joshua Thornton, Archie’s mother, and Gnarly running for their lives.

With time running out to the big day, Mac Faraday and Spencer’s small police force have to sort through the clues to figure out not only who has been targeted for assassination, but also who is determined to stop everything … FOREVER!

"Kill and Run" by Lauren Carr is the first book in her series called A Thorny Rose Mystery series. In this book about Lieutenant Murphy Thornton's USN first murder we learn how he tries to solve the murder of five women who are found together. No one can figure out why someone wanted these women, all different ages, with no apparent ties dead. But, it becomes clear that somehow they have to have a connection of some kind. Lieutenant Thornton figures that if he can figure out how they are connected he will find the one who committed this horrible crime. The story is a twisty one full of surprise even bringing in some family connections. He has to work very fast to solve this murder or he might, along with his new bride, find themselves in real danger. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for the purpose of a review and all opinions are my own.
